Storage skills of Pu 'er tea leaves

1, Pu 'er tea should be stored to avoid odor.

Tea has a strong adsorption. If you are not careful, it will cross talk with the odor in the air, which will affect or even destroy the original aroma of tea and affect the taste of drinking. In daily storage, the strong smell of paint, cigarettes and perfume should be avoided. Pu 'er tea cakes are generally packed in cotton paper, which can reduce the occurrence of tea odor. Therefore, we should be careful not to put tea leaves, especially tea cakes that have been unpacked, directly in the smelly air environment.

2, Pu 'er tea storage should be moisture-proof.

Every spring, almost all parts of the country have a day called "Returning to Nantian". The weather is wet and cold, and clothes can't be dried for many days. It hurts to think about it. In fact, Pu 'er tea is also very wet, which will soften the original dry tea cake and affect the taste of tea. However, if it is not treated after wetting, too much water in tea leaves will make tea leaves moldy and waste good tea cakes. Tea cakes, tea bricks and Tuocha can be properly pried into pieces and put into "lower abdomen" pottery pots and purple sand pots for sealed preservation. At the same time, it should be noted that Pu 'er tea should not only be returned to Nantian, but also stored in a dry place.

3. Store Pu 'er tea away from light.

Although the production of Pu 'er tea needs to be aired many times, the finished tea is not suitable for continuous exposure in the sun, because sun exposure will destroy the components in tea, such as chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamin C and so on. Although Pu 'er tea does not have obvious criteria for judging the color of tea like green tea, its taste will be affected and decreased after its tea quality is weakened. Moreover, direct sunlight will increase the temperature, inadvertently promote the oxidation reaction of phenols in tea, and further weaken the quality of tea. Therefore, Pu 'er tea should be stored in a cool place at home.

4, Pu 'er tea storage should be ventilated.

No odor, moisture-proof, and light-proof. After reading the first three points, do you intend to put your Pu 'er tea directly in a sealed box? It can be seen that the daily storage of Pu 'er tea should pay attention to ventilation, and it is not suitable to be locked in a completely sealed environment, so that tea leaves can have proper contact with the air and can also promote the transformation of Pu 'er tea. Therefore, common storage devices such as plastic bags and moon cake tin boxes are not suitable for placing Pu 'er tea. Pay attention to these misunderstandings at home at ordinary times, and don't ruin good tea.
